Just a few Nudges from the District Director

Area Directors: Just 3 weeks to complete and file those club visit reports. Each Area Director must have 75% of their Area Visit Reports filed to be eligible to earn Distinguished status. Overall, we are at just 50%. We achieved 100% for the first half of the year. I know you can do this! If you need help, contact me at sally [at] d57tm . org

All Members: Path Completions: One of the primary goals for each and every one of us is to improve our communication skills. The only way to accomplish this goal is to work the Toastmasters Educational Program. The Toastmasters Educational Program is called Pathways. Completing Path levels in the Path of your choice results in two wins: 1. You achieve your goals and 2. You help your club become Distinguished. Being Distinguished gives your club bragging rights and helps it attract new members, which, in turn, results in a fun, healthy club that you will want to continue to support. Without clubs there is no Toastmasters.
